Superior Mary Josephine Cummings was born in New York and there began her labors as a Sister of Mercy. Twenty- nine years ago she answered a call for volunteers to labor in the West, and with 2 company of sisters crossed the conti- nent for the scene of her future mis- sionary work. The first house was estab- lished in Eureka, and the convent of the Sacred Heart of Mercy in Ukliah was founded by her in 1853, Here the last nine- teen years of her life have been spent in works of mercy and charity. Beloved by all who knew her, her death filled with profound grief not only her little band of followers, but the community at large. Thief Wrecks Slot Machines.
